A very painful accident occurred at the
Mccullough Iron Works about 10 o'clock
Sunday morning. Martin Moran, o
laborer living in South Wilmington, was
assisting some bricklayers, who were re-
pairing furnace in the mill, when a
coal oil lamp was accidentally overturned,
igniting Moran's clothing. Had it not
been for the timely aid of his two fellow
workmen, who threw him on the floor
and covered him with sand, he would
most likely have suffered horrible death.
He was badly burned about the lower
limbs, and was attended by Drs. CANT
we'll and Brown, after which he was re-
moved to his home In a carriage. His
burns are quite serious, and he will be
laid up for several days.

Delegates 90 Dover.
RIDaELY, MD, May l0.-An adjourned
meeting Of the Caroline fruit-growers'
convention met in the oourt. house,
Denton, this afternoon at 8 O'Clock on the
call of the president, Mr.. Jacob Alto.
The object OF the present meeting, as ex-
planned by the president, was to get the
views of the Caroline growers on the free
basket and other questions. At the meet
ing held two weeks ago only the views of
outside men had been heard. Edward
Salisbury made the opening address, and
favored sending the delegates appointed
last meeting to the Dover convention,
with instructions to preserve unity Id tue
delegation. II was answered that Il, last
convention had declared against selling
baskets with the peaches.
Mr.. John W. Kerr, prominent fruit
grower and nurBeryman, moved TINT the
instructions be remRnded, and declared
himself in favor Of free baskets.
After much discussion a resolution Of
fered by DIR. Fl. +. Willis was carried, in
viting the buyers to mingle with the
growers, and instruoting the delegates to
the Dover convention to solicit the CO.
operation Of the Delaware Fruit Exchange
TO that effort.
A. 4. Warren, fruit-grower and also
New York commission merchant, con-
demned the action of the last convention
in its wholesale abuse of commission
men. He said farmers were not the only
persons injured by unprincipled men.
There were Irregularities in both ends.
At the request Of the president, Mr.. War.
rem explained the workings of the Wyom-
ing and Still Pond peach exchanges OF
last year. He said if farmers expected to
profit by the exchange system they would
be compelled to use more care in packing
and shipping fruit, as all fruit passed
through the exchange was carefully in
speoted and valued accordingly.
Addresses were also made by George
w. Spurry, j. w. Kerr, Fl. i. Mancha,
DIR. Il f. Willis and +. O. Ramsdell.
Mr.. Warren said that the grayest question
for the farmer to meet was the excessive
freight charged by the railroads.

nine stock dogs and II puppies by them,
together with draft of IL collies from
the Hemstead farm, were sold at auction
Saturday morning, in New York, in the
presence of large number of sportsmen
and fanciers These dogs are said to have
cost the owner some $1,000, but that is
probably an exaggeration. But the public
on this occasion we're in no mood to pay
big prices, and the consequence was that
the entire lot went at figures that are
called "ridiculously low" For instance,
the celebrated English setter stud and
fisld dog, Dashing Monarch, for which
the owner paid 81 600 to John o.Higgins
of Delaware City, Del, was knocked down
for $50, and Layslette, which cost Mr..
Lorillard 81 500, went for $3.50. Eight
of the IL collies found purchasers. The
others were withdrawn.
